apparently I was wrong about the poor power and lower fuel economy using bio blends, but i know for a fact with my truck i experienced both of those symptoms while using bio, power wasn't terribly noticeable but it was there and fuel economy was gauged by driving the same way i always do and it did go down

Obviously people have different opinions of weather or not 2 stroke helps your IP and injectors, such as the same people probably have different opinions of what FI stands for. But can we all please get along

... i agree tho. this is very comparable to a die hard ford guy arguing with a die hard chevy guy on whose truck is better and why. we all have our own opinions and preferences with our trucks. there are more than likely scientific facts that prove true for both sides of the fence. as for me i will continue to run 2 cyc in my diesel bc thats what i do and it gives me my own little piece of mind untill im shown it will cause damage. except for calling it a redneck idea.

I saw you all talking about bio-diesel! then saw some more ODD (Opinioon Driven Drama) Crap! LOL your all ODD! one of you is out there! as far as bio-diesel is concerned. there has been tests after tests. and it boils down to standards. the home brewer such as my self cannot afford to test to meet the standards. I am after turning WVO (Waste vegetible oil) to like diesel very hard process. My truck responds well to the bio that I have brewed. No gains in fuel economy, I do get a small gain in performance. the truck sounds real good with it. I do not go more then 20% blend. I have seen some problems with this tho. My sending unit was cloged becuase the Bio was such a solvent that the lining in the fuel tank ended up in the filtration sytem, and then it cloged the filters in the sending unit. It also cuased some oxidization (Rust) to some sensitive parts. possibly to much water in the sytem from the Bio process. So ther is my info and discovery on that. but that has to do with home brewing of Bio-Diesel, not commercial Bio-Diesel. they have some real set standards to meet. and to let most of you know. most of the fuel additives or injector cleaning agents are Bio-diesel based. That is some of their main ingrediants!
thank you!

I don't know about ODD, but I DO know you can stand next to a Cummins truck while it's idling on ULSD, pour a quart of 2-stroke in the fuel tank and within a half minute hear the injector and (on a VP44) pump noise go down.

That's not opinion. Noise translates to wear in this drama. That's a fact.
